Thai health of­fi­cials on Wed­nes­day said 33 new Zika virus cases have been de­tected in the coun­try as of­fi­cials step up screen­ing for groups at high risk from the dis­ease such as preg­nant women. TheMin­istry of PublicHealth said cam­paigns warn­ing trav­el­ers about Zika have been in­creased as many Thais flock to the cap­i­tal Bangkok to take part in na­tional mourn­ing ac­tiv­i­ties for King Bhu­mi­bol Adulyadej, who died on Oct 13.
